ooh i like! can’t wait to see pictures of your reconstruction..actually if you have a post in your archives that is of a reconstruction that would be great to see! i am new to the sewing world and i am loving it!

I love the subtle creamcycle feel of this dress, but I agree with LynnB, you need contrast, not more of the same. Black patent leather or a darker shade of orange for belt and shoes would be a very nice finish. Also, I can’t believe you didn’t do any orange piping!
